MCI is super-quick "in and out" for those that live here

I actually like DCA it's like forever stuck in time from the 60's. Short walk small terminal and one baggage claim on the way out.

For the same reasons I like BUR.

Most of the ones I have been to are fine. FLL,BWI,MDW,DEN,PHX, LAS,LAX

MSY Flew 2 times there for the EYW flight, made a connection. Few places to eat and the bathroom was very small. Concourse looked like back in the 1960;s. City is awesome but the airport needs upgraded.

Actually, I like SJC, PHX, LAS, and JAX. They does have a nice terminals. I like the best terminals. It's very easy for me.

Worst: LAX, SAN, MSY, FLL. FLL is getting more extremely overcrowded. Why I no longer visited FLL. We will forget FLL.

Let's just say that LGA is well deserving of VP Joe Biden's characterization of being like a third world country.

LGA is called LaGarbage for a reason. SAN is deplorable and LAX is a third world airport (in fact, I think third world airports are probably better than LAX). SFO is getting to that awful point (and will be terrible once construction starts).

I've never heard ABQ or PDX called "mediocre." Not sure why either one of those would garner that label. For us locals, PHX is pretty easy in and out. TUS is another nice airport with a great WN staff.

BWI is #1 in my heart because they have a Chipotle that serves breakfast.

San Diego gate 3-10

Southwest is the biggest airlines out of San Diego but are in the worse terminal.

Funny, in 1985 a young, cocky regional pilot used that term twice while flying me home from college in a tiny 19 seater from Utica, NY. I thought he meant the mess it is getting into the airspace and then the tarmac but clearly it extends to the inside as well some 30 years later.

Out of the WN terminals I've been through, I've enjoyed TPA. DEN and MSP work well also.

Right, FLL is very worst. It's very extremely overcrowded!!! Too much cruise passengers! Why I no longer visits FLL. FLL is still sucks. I hate FLL. We will forget FLL.

Those are my top/bottom 2 as of right now. I'm sure there are other very good entries for Best, but definitely these Worst are at the bottom of my list.
SEA one of the best? I have to comment the gates are a long way from the entrance and esp around Gate 12 it smells moldy.

Unless you have A list/Pre SAN often has horrible lines getting through TSA.

Worst:

LAX, ELP, SAN, PHX, GEG, MCI, MDW, GRR, SDF, CMH, BDL, EWR,

Why do you consider BDL "Worst"?? Newer Terminal, Food Court (granted a few choices, but serves its purpose, efficient TSA screening (rarely wait more than 10-15 mins.), clean, and a great Martini bar.
